BJ Mullen have a variety of heating systems to heat your home. In addition to stoves, and boilers, heating systems options include active solar heating and heat pumps, which are used for both heating and cooling. In addition, the installation of proper insulation, will help ensure that your home is both comfortable and energy efficient.
What is a Central Heating System?
The main elements in a central heating system are:
- A heat source, such as a boiler or heat pump
- Heat emitters, such as radiators or underfloor heating
- A circulation system, such as hot water pipes which also includes a pump to move heat around the system
- Thermostats, programmers and other controls
When it comes to choosing the right heating system for your home, it’s essential to consider the various options available and their long-term benefits. One of the most efficient choices is a boiler system, which provides reliable warmth and can be paired with various heating methods, including radiators and underfloor heating. The latter not only enhances comfort by distributing heat evenly across the floor but also maximizes energy efficiency.
Another option gaining popularity is air source heat pumps. These systems work by extracting heat from the outside air, even in cold weather, and transferring it indoors. They are environmentally friendly and can significantly reduce your energy bills when combined with proper insulation. BJ Mullens’s Green Home Centre is a great resource for further information on this and has working models of Air Source Heat Pumps, Underfloor Heating and Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery systems.
Investing in a modern heating system means prioritizing comfort while being mindful of energy consumption. By exploring options like boilers, underfloor heating, and air source heat pumps—alongside effective insulation—you can create a warm, inviting home that stands the test of time.
